In 2005 Beyonc elevated her untouchable status to legendary levels when rumours began to circulate about her marriage to hip hop mogul Jay Z. Suddenly she gained the look of a respectable woman and all that flesh was hidden away.

But the sexy songbird is back to her brazen self, shaking her bootylicious behind like never before in the sultry black and white video for 'Single Ladies'.

Speaking of the titillating video, Beyonc said: "I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me."
